Thanksgiving Day.
President Cleveland has designated
Thursday Nov. "a, ass Thanksgiving
Day.
Our ''devil'' thinks it proper here to
suggest that in civilized communities
it is customary for some big hearted
soul to bring big fat turkey and pre-
sent it to the editor, which is supposed
to secure an assurance of good luck
for year to come. OF course we
don't know us to the goodness of luck
the donor might have. but we do know
that as far as the editor was concerned,
he'd be awful lucky if such a streak
should strike him. We don't think
any one wants 'an assurance of luck
for a year, and don't expect will want
to insult lis on Thanksgiving Day. but
we merely suggest this to show the
looming citizen some of the customs
of civilization.

| ]. D. G. Atkins, Commissioner
Of Indian Affairs, in his annual
report, amongst other things says
IN reference to the agreement OF
Aug. Is, 1885:
'.The prevailing sentiment
among them is very strong for the
ratification Of the agreement en-
tered into last summer with the
Northwestern Indian commiss-
ion"
Being in a favorable position to
know and see and observe the gen
eral sentiment Of this people, we
are sorry to say that the Hon.
Commissioners source of inabrma-
ton, wherein such a conclusion
as the above may have been based
is certainly meagre, if not wholly
an unreliable one. The echo of
the Northwestern commissions
boo-zho had hardly died on the
ear, before dissatisfaction became
manifest against the agreement,
and by the time the Commission
got to Mile Laos, it was general.
To further assure ourselves of the
present prevailing sentiment, we
paid a visit to the home of the
venerable chief White Cloud,
where we also had the good for
tune and pleasure of meeting chief
lgnatious Hole-in the day, and in
their presence the above was read
and then handed to Hole-in- the
day (who is well educated) who
read it for himself, and it was
then interpreted to the old chief,
and after brief pause, both ex-
claimed, ''kaw. we-sah, nitche,-

been in favor of that agreement,

proved, and which the most of us
signed because we were forced to

4 Lesson On Printing.

It don't cost anything to run a
printing Office, Printers never
receive any wages. The newspa-
per unions furnish ready print
sheets free of cost-those people
do business for fun-stationery,
type, ink, ETC., are given away by
the manufacturers. Why, even
farmers, in the generosity of their
hearts, dump cord after cord of
nice, dry, body wood at the pub
lisher's door without hope of re-
compense. In short, a Newspaper
man has no earthly need of money
and would feel insulted if you
should offer to pay him for his pa

In reply to the second question,
it will be found by reference to the
treaty Of 1867 that any Indian hav-
ing 10 acres Of land under cult
Walton will be entitled to a certif-
cate for 40 acres, and a further
certificate for 40 acres for each
additional 10 acres improved, until
100 acres shall have been certified
too to any one person.
Art. 2, of the agreement of Ang.
1886, allots lands in severalty as
follows: 100 acres to every head
of family so acres to each sim
gle person over IS and to each Or
phan child under IS years of age
and to each other person under 10,
40 acres each; "the United States
holding the lands thus allotted

Whether the adoption of the
provision in the agreement of
